The Policy of democratic students for the School of Humanities

Guarantee Retake Exams in All Departments of the Faculty
Retake exams should be a guaranteed right for all students at the University of Iceland. It’s unacceptable that this right varies between departments and faculties. In particular, it makes no sense that retake exams aren’t offered in courses where make-up exams are already being held.

​

Coffee Facilities in Árnagarður
There’s a clear need for proper coffee facilities in Árnagarður. The old coffee machines in the building are frequently broken or out of order. Action needs to be taken to improve student facilities there. An investment in refreshing Baðstofan should also be considered.

​

Increased Transparency, Consistency, and Organization in Assessments
Predictability is key when it comes to studying. There needs to be greater consistency and transparency across courses and departments within the faculty.​

​

Improve Food Services at Þjóðarbókhlaðan

Food services at Þjóðarbókhlaðan need to be brought back, whether through the return of Háma or a new provider. Having food services at the library significantly improves the study environment.
